Per VINdown's modeling, the Carolina Skiff 19 Sea Skiff retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #1108 of 5780 boats we track. That is 3 points above the 70% five-year average for Fishing in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Carolina Skiff 19 Sea Skiff sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $23,846 it falls to around $17,526 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,320, about $3.46 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Carolina Skiff 19 Sea Skiff bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
